Effective Strategies for Analyzing Scholarly Articles in Oceanic Research

This guide provides essential tips for efficiently reading scientific literature, particularly in oceanic studies, using reliable data-driven sources. Emphasizing peer-reviewed articles, we recommend databases like Google Scholar and Web of Science for your research. Key strategies include focusing on abstracts, introductions, and conclusions while skipping the detailed body, paired with examining figures and captions for critical insights. Additionally, the importance of understanding concepts like Ekman transport and limiting nutrients is highlighted, supporting a comprehensive grasp of ocean dynamics.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Primary Literature Search • Your case studies are Data-Driven, and all sources should come from scholarly articles • Scholarly (peer-reviewed) articles vs. Review Articles (both are ok) • Google Scholar is good, but make sure you link to the UMB library, and that it is an article published in a peer-reviewed journal • Web of Science and GreenFile are other good databases to use (UMB library website) • Web of Science can filter “Document Type”-> “Review”…Google Scholar cannot • Use the “Take a Snapshot” tool in Adobe Reader (after you have saved the file) to grab images

  2. Tips for Reading Scientific Articles • Many different methods, develop what works for you • But DON’T read them front to back in entirety (unless it’s a review article) • Read and re-read Abstract multiple times • Read Introduction and Discussion/Conclusion, ignore middle of paper • Look for Figures, read the captions/where they are referenced to understand them

  3. Ekman Transport: behaves same as coriolis force • Deflects to right in N hemisphere • Deflects to left in S hemisphere

  4. Iron is a limiting nutrient throughout much of the ocean
